Last Year,US Opposed Buhari's Plan To Giv Governor Bagudu $100m From Abacha Loot by EXTompolo: 5:02pm On Oct 05, 2021
***Throw back from last year***

In February last year, US government opposed Nigeria’s plan to hand Kebbi governor $100m from Abacha loot.
By Dennis Erezi.

US Department of Justice said Bagudu was involved in corruption with the late Abacha who Transparency International (TI) said may have looted as much as $5 billion during his 1993-98 rule in Nigeria.

DoJ also contends that the Nigerian government is hindering U.S. efforts to recover allegedly laundered money it said was traced to Bagudu, Bloomberg reported on Friday.

DoJ said in a statement earlier in the month that Bagudu with Abacha and Abacha’s son Mohammed Sani Abacha “embezzled, misappropriated and extorted billions from the government of Nigeria and others, then laundered their criminal proceeds through U.S. financial institutions and the purchase of bonds backed by the United States.”

The United States has asked the government of Nigeria to withdraw litigation it has instituted in the UK that hinders the U.S. effort to recover these additional funds for the people of Nigeria,” DoJ said in February 2020.

Instead of welcoming U.S. efforts, Nigeria’s lawyers appear to be supporting the interests of one of the country’s most powerful families.”

Northerners can loot heaven and earth but will still remain the poorest region in the country, I then ask, what are they using the whole loot for?
